Arboriculture I

This 100 hour course from the Garden Design Academy develops your ability to manage trees following on from Arboriculture I, in order to minimize potential long term tree problems.

Learn about better tree selection, strengthening and improving health of existing trees, and techniques used to remove trees and stumps.

It provides graduates with more in-depth knowledge than Arboriculture I by focussing on such topics as transplanting techniques, environmental control, environmental tolerance, and strengthening techniques, as well as felling and stump removal. The course culminates with a lesson on establishing and designing a tree plantation geared to the needs of the serious professional.

You will learn about the standard tree surgery practices, to prune and train both young and established trees, and the safety measures to follow.
